Remove libsoup as it's unmaintained and contains multiple known vulnerabilities.

The declared dependency from inkscape was outdated.

For libmateweather use a patch from gentoo (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/dev-libs/libmateweather/files/libmateweather-1.28.1-libsoup3.patch). Several distros have backported the update: mate-desktop/libmateweather#133

Note that the libsoup3 package remains as a newer version.
